Review:Jim Qwilleran is a little anxious. He wants - needs - the job he is interviewing for with the managing editor of the Daily Fluxion, circulation 427,463. A recently divorced man in his 40's, on the wagon, he hasn't had a steady job for a long time. He is looking for a fresh start as, hopefully, the crime reporter, his speciality before he hit the skids. When he accepts a position on the newspaper as the Art feature writer, he's grateful for the job, no matter how rueful he feels about the demotio... Read more

Review:The Cat Who Sniffed Glue by Lilian Jackson Braun is one of the earlier novels in the "Cat Who" series.

Although Qwilleran assures the Chief of Police that his cat cannot solve crimes, KoKo once again proves that a cat's intuition is right on target. It's just the humans who can't quite understand the message.

When a prominent member of Pickaxe society is murdered, along with his bride, the town is stunned. Who? Why? Eager to close the case, the police are satisfied when a carload o... Read more

Review:I am never disappointed with a Cat Who book! Always a great, interesting story and all the climax' in this hold my attention. Every time I sat down to read I didn't want to put it down. Great book for my kindle fire, I intended to get more Cat Who to read on my kindle. Read more

Review:Will always have Lilian Jackson Braun's characters as my friends and revisit them frequently. Sorry she is no longer with us to continue the saga of Koko The Cat Who and his charming female companion YumYum but they will always be ageless. Read more

Review:The 12th book of this series starts with Qwilleran settled into his new home, an old apple barn that has been restored and turned into living quarters. The upper beams are about forty feet above the ground and the cats are in seventh heaven. Qwilleran's other project, building a community theater, has also been completed and a successful run of "Henry VIII" has just finished. When the director, school principal Hilary VanBrook had proposed this play nobody thought it would fly, but the unpopular... Read more

Review:Qwill goes on a tour of Scotland, this time, leaving the cats behind. Doesn't matter. Koko still knows when mystery is afoot. He's yowling across the Atlantic at the same time their tour guide dies.

When I read a series this big, (29 books), I compare the books against each other, not other stories. This wasn't one of my favorites. There was a note of sadness that ran through the entire story that normally isn't present in these books. The character Melinda Goodwinter returns, and it isn'... Read more

Review:The tapes were not rewound & the final tape was practically impossible to understand. You could hear approximately every 4th word no matter how loud the volume was turned up. It's quality was certainly not "good". Read more

Review:This is number six in Lilian Braun's long running 'The Cat Who' series and marks the beginning of Jim Qwilleran's transplantation to the far northern town of Pickaxe. Qwilleran has managed to become the heir of the community's wealthiest resident and must stay in Pickaxe for five years in order to inherit. As we all know now, he lasted a lot more than five years, and may still be north of everywhere enjoying the foibles and gossip that play such an important part of the world's coziest cozies....

Review:Other reviewers like to give plot analyses, I like to generalize about whether a new reader can "safely" spend his or her money on the book and not be grossly disappointed.
All of the "Cat Who" books by Lilian Jackson Braun are good entertainment. These stories are "clean" and Braun has a sense of humor that I thoroughly enjoy. I rarely chuckle when I read, but Mark Twain and Lilian Jackson Braun can make me laugh out loud.
I eagerly look forward to each new "The Cat Who..." book by Lilian... Read more
